Onederland!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on Jan 25 2011. I started at 340 lbs. I have now reached the one hundreds! I was wearing a size 28 to a 30/32 and now am wearing size med tops and large bottoms. My current weight is 196. I no im barely in the "one hundreds" but it is so exciting I never thought I would of made it this far. My doc would never discuss a goal weight he would only talk in % of excess body weight. I still have a couple months till I'm a year hoping to reach 175

You are an inspiration to me..you say u"still have a couple of months" til u r a yr. But then u say you were sleeved in 1-25-11, am I confused all on my own or is one of the statements a mix up? Regardless, RIGHT ON, I will not give up!!

WOW. your "before" sounds a lot like me. Thanks for the inspiration. I'm pre-op and just starting my VSG journey... I'm so afraid of getting stuck at 230 since I haven't been able to get below 230 in over 20 years.

I hit onederland a few weeks ago. Had not been in the 100's for 44 years. Yes I said 44 yrs. amazing for me. I never dreamed that I would ever be this weight again. I went from a 24 to a 16 now. Still can't wrap my brain around this. Hardly ever hungry and can not eat that much at all even after 8 months. It is coming off very slowly but still dropping.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
